[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1437989, member: 38928"] Looks like you're going in 'eyes open' which is good. Just a couple of things/thoughts The MBP non-retina you tried will have been a particular spec - most likely the off-the shelf spec. You can spec the MBP to the same internals as the retina bar the design and screen. So you're concerns about external monitor resolutions and performance can be put aside so long as the spec accordingly. I'd suggest rethinking Applecare too. You can buy it anytime within the first 12 months. The soldered on components are not the ones I'd be concenred with as a failure point. I'd be more concerned with the screen, logic board, trackpad, keyboard etc. While none are known issues I wouldn't use this rational to skip applecare. [/QUOTE]
